Overview

The Physics - Physics Education degree at Wright State University is somewhat unique in that most of the science educators hold joint appointments in the two colleges. In addition to the academic year program, faculty members conduct summer institutes for in-service teachers.

Careers

A physics degree prepares students for any one of a number of almost limitless career opportunities. Nearly half of the graduates go off to graduate school in fields that include physics, engineering (electrical, biomedical, aerospace, mechanical), education, non-profit organizations, business, and medical school. Many physics graduates successfully enter and complete any graduate program that interests them!

Other graduates directly enter the workforce and are employed in STEM-related technical fields with both large and small companies in the Dayton area and nationally. These positions are typically engineering, software (programming), and applied research positions.

The power of the physics degree is the solid core in mathematics and physics (theoretical and experimental skills) that provides you with a foundation for any one of a number of career opportunities. This solid foundation allows you to adapt and excel in nearly any emerging scientific and technical field in an ever-changing and increasingly complex world.
